Wikipedia will be issuing a DVD/CD edition of the English version of the encyclopedia, trimmed to exclude entires of dubious merit and those that may infringe copyright or plagiarize other sources. I love this — I would also totally love to have a daily .torrent of the entire Wikipedia on a language-by-language basis for those of us who want to keep local mirrors.
"We want one last level of review to get to a stable branch," said Wales. Wikipedia volunteers will also double-check articles to ensure there is no plagiarism or copyright violation.
"We already have a strong policy against plagiarism and copyright violation, but we'll be reading through things again and making sure everything's confirmed," said Wales.
